Recipe Information
- Serves: 4
- Preparation: 15 minutes
- Cooking: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 500g chicken breast mince
- 250g raw pumpkin, grated
- 1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
- 100g feta, crumbled
- 1 egg
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Method
- Combine the chicken mince, grated pumpkin, chopped sage, feta, egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overwork the mixture.
- Shape into evenly sized rissoles, gently pressing them together so they hold their shape during cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the rissoles for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 75°C.
- Rest for 3–5 minutes before serving to keep the rissoles juicy.
How to Serve
Serve alongside creamy mashed potato, roasted vegetables or a crisp garden salad. These rissoles are also fantastic in lunchboxes, burgers or wraps the following day.
Butcher's Tip
Grated pumpkin naturally keeps chicken mince moist while adding subtle sweetness. Don't squeeze the moisture from the pumpkin before mixing—it helps produce tender, juicy rissoles.
